Outline
Google News is a type of Media Monitoring collection that allows you to follow news based on keyword mentions, regardless of the source that published it.
One Google News collection can track multiple keywords.
Adding Keywords
Trending now
The first way you can add keywords to the collection is the "Trending Now" section, which displays the most popular keywords at the moment.
Simply click the keywords you want to add to the collection.
Adding keywords manually
The second way to add keywords to the collection is to use the bar at the top of the page, where you can manually enter keywords you wish to track:
You can add keywords both manually and from the "Trending Now" list to the same Collection.
Keyword syntax, expressions, and parameters
Plain keyword
If a keyword is entered simply on its own, the platform will collect news that mention this keyword, as well as similar and related mentions:
legislation
URLs
URLs can be entered as keywords. In this case, the platform will collect news only from this URL.
https://www.bloomberg.com
Multiple keywords
Multiple keywords must be separated with commas:
legislation, regulation, https://www.bloomberg.com, https://nypost.com
Exact match
To look for exact mentions, excluding similar and related ones, use "" with the keyword.
Exact match does not work with URLs:
"legislation", "regulation", https://nypost.com
Expressions
Expressions can be used instead of keywords. They allow to use Boolean operators with keywords.
Expressions must be delineated with (), and keywords within the expression must be delineated with "", except for URLs:
("legislation" AND "South Korea" AND https://nypost.com)An expression within () is treated as a single keyword. If you need to use multiple expressions, or expressions and keywords, separate them with commas as you would regular keywords:
("legislation" AND "regulation" AND https://nypost.com), ("law" AND "order"),
policy, government, "South Korea"
Expressions support the following operators:
Operator | Effect | Example |
AND | Show news only satisfying the arguments at the same time | ("Japan" AND "South Korea") |
OR | Show news satisfying at least one argument | ("Japan" OR "South Korea") |
